THE TREATMENT

Count on this British performer to keep a stiff upper lip as Hayder conveys a realistic look at a world most people don't even want to think about. When a 9-year-old boy goes missing, his parents are found bound and gagged in their home--almost starved to death. Detective Inspector Jack Caffrey begins a relentless search for a pedophile, hoping it’s not too late. Damien Goodwin's narration is slick and straightforward, and his portrayal of the child molester is chilling. While this title is not for the timid, those who listen will find it memorable.
